More than 40 international freediving athletes are participating in the competition and will compete to win a total prize of Rp. 200 million prepared for the winners of this competition.

One of the athletes is world-record holder William Trubridge from New Zealand. “I just finished my first training for Sail Sabang Freediving Competition, Sabang has a beautiful ocean,” said William.

During his first training, he managed to descend 90 meters down amid the nice weather. “Waves are great, the clarity of the water is good. The entire condition is exciting for us freedivers,” he added.
